Anti-aliased fonts in Vim on Mac OS X
Posted by chris on May 10th, 2006
It is quite simple to get anti-aliased fonts working in Vim (that’s the GUI version obviously) on Mac OS X, but it doesn’t seem to be advertised very widely. The relevant line to add to your .gvimrc file is:
set anti
that’s it. While you’re there, you might want to set the font to something nice too. My suggestion is:
set gfn=Monaco:h13
which will use 13pt Monaco, but that’s just my preference.
UPDATE: Now that Vim 7.0 is out there are more details in this FAQ. Notice that they suggest 13pt Monaco too….
